PROGRAM DETAILS

ADLs; The Building Blocks to Patient Recovery
and Rehabilitation

When assessing and treating various patient diagnoses, one common denominator
exists—activities of daily living. What brings the patient to your clinic is the
inability to function as they did before their illness or injury. The
rehabilitation professional must parlay his/her understanding of the diagnosis
and how it affects activities of daily living into a treatment plan, so that the
patient’s functional independence can be restored. When therapists and nurses
communicate in functional terms with physicians, case managers, and third party
payers, they are able to show patient progress in functional and simple language
that is applicable to professionals and laypersons alike. Relating the patient
diagnosis to affected ADLs not only helps the health care team better understand
the treatment plan, it justifies the need for multidisciplinary intervention.

This dynamic, one-day seminar will provide participants with a working knowledge
of how ADLs are weaved into the patient's therapeutic intervention. You will
learn to use ADLs as a treatment modality and to view daily occupations,
self-care skills, and leisure interests as important building blocks to patient
recovery and rehabilitation. This course will examine the full spectrum of
patient care from geriatric populations in skilled nursing facilities and adult
living facilities to pediatric settings. You will discuss treatment plans,
explore ideas, and evaluate interventions through case studies. Attendees will
leave the seminar better equipped to incorporate ADLs into therapeutic goals and
treatment plans and to document each case effectively.

Discuss pediatric, adult, and geriatric
considerations in the performance of daily living skills

Utilize assessment tools to help identify
areas of the patient's environment that are potentially unsafe

Describe the impact of decreased mobility on
performing self-care skills and functioning within specific areas of the home

Break down daily activities into components to
help patients identify problem areas

Determine how to use adaptive equipment in the
clinic and at home to improve ADL performance

Justify therapeutic interventions to other
members of the health care team and third-party payers through proper
documentation
